I can't see any of the work spaces in iMovie

Hello,
When I'm opening iMovie although I can see and use all the controls in the top panel, none of the work spaces are opening. I've been google-ing the problem for the last half an hour and it seems like a really common problem but I haven't found the answer anywhere. Any advice for solving this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Just to scale down where problem arises - Please try
Start Mac
Goto System Pref (under Apple menu top left hand corner)
Open Account
Click on the Plus sign and Create a New User
Goto Apple Menu and down to Log-Out
Log into the new User just Created
NOW - try iMovie Again
Does it work OK now - Yes old Event's and Project's do not come up BUT DOES IT WORK -
Can You import new Event's ?
Can You start a new Project ?
If so - then to 99.9% the culprit is the old iMovie Pref file in Your Old User Account Library / Preferences
Trash it when You've logged into Your old Account - and now start iMovie.
Does it work OK now ?
Yours Bengt W

  • I can not see Aperture in the media brower of iMovie and idvd since I have upgraded my iphone 5

    I have Aperture 3.4.2 (most updated version I could find).  Now when I look to make a movie or dvd with my photos.  I can not find any of my recent photos in imovie or idvd via their respective media browsers.  Aperture and iphoto are both working fine and great (ie: I can adjust my photos accordingly and print them out).  I was able to successfully make both an imovie and then burn it on idvd (added photos to the idvd screens via media browers too), last week. 
    The only thing I can think that is different with my computer is that I upgraded my iphone from iphone4 to iphone5. 
    This is what I have looked into already:
    Aperture>Preferences>Preview is set to share and set to always>photo preview set to Don't limit    (no change)
    Tried alt+cmd when opening Aperture and reset Aperture (as well with iphoto).  (no change)
    Itunes>Advanced>choose photos to share> then a window pops up stating Aperture could not be found open Preferences in Aperture (My first step already proved that it should be fine)
    My question is why all of a sudden is Aperture and most of my iphone photos not showing up in imovie or idvd all of a sudden?  Does the recent Iphone5 updgrade have anything to do with it?
    Any help would be great since I have been looking all over the web for an answer with no success.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    If NO, then check it first. If YES then bummer !! I was hoping that would work :-( Anyway here's how you can Downgrade to a previous version.

  • My external hard drive is working fine but I can't see any of the files

    I've been using a goflex external hard drive to store photos for a little over a year. It has been connected to my Mac desktop for about three months and it is still working but now when I try and view it or any of the files nothing shows up. I can still edit and manipulate files through apps like aperature, but I have no access to those photos? Is there any trick to being able to view these files again?

    Attach the HDD to your MBP and open Disk Utility.  Take screen shots of of the HDD and the volume.  Please note the differences.  View the examples from mine:

  • When I open my apple store on the purchased items I can't see any of the apps I bought or downloaded

    Why can't I see the apps but if I click randomly on the screen I can go into one of the apps? I tried closing the iPad completely and then reopeing it it didn't work any advice on how to fix it?

    It is nothing that you are doing wrong. It is not working right now and it has been broken for about 4 days now. Look at some of the other discussions on this forum about the very same issue. There have been a number of discussions about this in the last few days. We have to wait until Apple fixes it.

  • My ipad mail is synced to my iMac mail account. On iPad, I can only see my inbox and sent messages. I can't see any of the folders I have created on my iMac. How do I do that? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there!

    My iPad mail is synced to my private email account, which I organise on my iMac. On iPad, I can only see inbox and sent messages folders, not any of the other folders in my email account I have created on my iMac. How do I get iPad to show my other folders? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there.

    If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
    In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

  • Iphoto crashed after "successful import" but during the "finishing import" stage - i had selected to delete the imported photos on my phone...iphoto crashed after 90% of the photos had been deleted. Now i can't see any of the photos on iphoto

    Hi guys, I was importing about 5000 photos from my phone onto my computer. it said the import was successful but did i want to delete or keep the photos on the original device. I opted to delete photos. The photos started to count down as they deleted and the computer said "finishing import". Once it had deleted down to about 600 photos iphoto simply disappeared, and a message popped up to say it had crashed. I opted to reopen iphoto and saw that not one of the photos had imported! Not only that but now all the photos have been deleted from my phone. I'm really upset if i've lost the last year of photos/ videos....does anyone know what has happened/ if i can recover them?
    thanks so much in advance x

    Not sure where you got those ideas - simply import your photos and keep the rather than deleting - then after a successful import and at least one back up cycle you can format the card if you want or you can do what I do and keep the photos moving to a new card when that one is full giving you yet another backup - if problems occurs then trouble shoot them - no need to trouble shoot if there is no problem
    ad personally I find removing the card and plugging it into my card reader is faster and easier than finding the USB cable and hooking it up, turning on the camera, verifying that tty e battery is charged, etc - and it eliminates a point of failure in the USB cable  and the chance of the camera battery running out - but that is clearly a personal choice
    You are overthinking this - it is simple
    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

  • No matter what website I am on all of a sudden the page will be covered in black and white lines and I can't see any of the page. What is happening and how do I fix it? It has only started since I loaded Firefox 4 this week.

    I am very frustrated because I keep having my pages become covered completely in black and white lines. It has even happened on this page when I tried to use the drop down arrow by 'this happened'. I can sometimes read the page if I click over the area I want to read but this is not common. This has only been happening since I downloaded Firefox 4. I thought this would be a better version but now I am not so sure.

    I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
    This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

  • Now that my PSE 11 trial has ended, I can't see any of the photos/albums/layouts I made in PSE 9.

    I simply can't afford the upgrade at this time, but I did a lot of stuff during the month I used the trial and don't want to lose it all!

    In E11, one can't open Elements Organizer too after the trial has expired.

  • I'm having trouble recovering my lost music. I've gone to the "purchased" page only to find that I can't see any of the songs I've purchased. Therefore, I can't download any of them. However, I can see my apps. Can anyone help me?

    Should I contact Apple to try to recover my music?

    Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

  • I've just spent the last three hours importing photos from a portable hard drive.  Now I can't see any of the photos I imported instead there is a black/white photo of a palm tree, setting sun and water?  HELP!

    Help!

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with
    Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    Everything on my screen is miniscule, I can't see any of the menu's or toolbars. It's like trying to read a book with a font of 4, how do I fix this?

    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Cannot+view+full+screen+Flash+videos

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    I honestly don't know if DW CS5 is compatible with Win 8.1.  The OS compatibility FAQ only mentions DW CS6 & CC.
